About
The character 旅 is an ideogrammic compound originally depicting two soldiers marching beneath a flag, representing an army campaign or a military brigade on the move. In its modern form, the left side is 方 (direction), derived from the banner, while the right component suggests multiple people following a set path. Over time, the martial meaning faded, and the character came to denote civilian travel. Today it primarily means 'travel,' 'tourism,' a long journey, or temporarily staying as a guest in a foreign place.
